re speeding up a textured plane:

Instead of letting the effect go all the way out to the horizon, intersect
it with a sphere to make a circle of textured ground just for the forgound
and mid-field.  Then put a simpler plane around that for the distant
background, if it's even necessary at all (your horizon will be lower
without it).
